Your question has been answered several times. 
I just wanted to add this. It is important to know the state laws when you travel. In my state, a child under the age of TWELVE cannot be left alone. I don't agree with this. I feel it should be the parents' call, because my 11 year old daughter is more responsible and mature than most 16 year olds. When I was 11, I had an eight-hour babysitting gig on Saturdays.
But I'm not supposed to leave her alone or else if something happened then we would have legal serious issues.
